    No, as kids we'd get in trouble if we got hurt, even by accident, so it just wasn't something I'd ever even think of doing!! Then or now!!

    Man, this makes me remember the time I thought I broke my arm, it hurt so bad and I had a GIANT hematoma on my elbow (Stevie Wonder coulda seen it!), I couldn't move my fingers....my mom got so mad at me and I had to beg to go to the hospital. She kept saying...do we HAVE to go?? Then we finally go and it turns out it wasn't broken so I got yelled at even more because it was a 'waste' to have gone. On top of it all, it happened while I was busting my ass working on their farm. For free.

      Jesus...that is insane...I can't imagine yelling at a kid for genuinely hurting themselves...much less resenting taking them for medical care :-S

        Yeah it was pretty hard to deal with. I mean, it was normal to me because I didn't know better back then, but to have to suffer through being sick or hurt and not feeling OK to say anything out of fear of getting yelled at was incredibly stressful.

          When they get sick as elders, treat then the way they treated you.
